Beautiful butterfly capture.

Beautiful butterfly!
This is a Papilio Machaon!
The Papilio Machaon and the Iphiclides podaliurius are similar, but Machaon has che its chequered wings, like this. And Iphliclides has its striped wings.
First is more blue, and the second is more yellow.

thanks for your explanation it is great to learn something

Gorgeous!
